LDAP_PARSE_RESULT(3)	   Library Functions Manual	  LDAP_PARSE_RESULT(3)

NAME
       ldap_parse_result - Parsing results

LIBRARY
       OpenLDAP	LDAP (libldap, -lldap)

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<ldap.h>

       int ldap_parse_result( LDAP *ld,	LDAPMessage *result,
	    int	*errcodep, char	**matcheddnp, char **errmsgp,
	    char ***referralsp,	LDAPControl ***serverctrlsp,
	    int	freeit )

       int ldap_parse_sasl_bind_result(	LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *result,
	    struct berval **servercredp, int freeit )

       int ldap_parse_extended_result( LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *result,
	    char **retoidp, struct berval **retdatap, int freeit )

       int ldap_parse_intermediate( LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage *result,
	    char **retoidp, struct berval **retdatap,
	    LDAPControl	***serverctrlsp, int freeit )

DESCRIPTION
       These  routines	are used to extract information	from a result message.
       They will operate on the	first result message in	a chain	of search  re-
       sults  (skipping	past other message types). They	take the result	as re-
       turned	by   a	 call	to   ldap_result(3),	ldap_search_s(3)    or
       ldap_search_st(3).   In	addition  to ldap_parse_result(), the routines
       ldap_parse_sasl_bind_result() and ldap_parse_extended_result() are used
       to get all the result information from SASL bind	 and  extended	opera-
       tions.	 To   extract	information   from   intermediate   responses,
       ldap_parse_intermediate() can be	used.

       The errcodep parameter will be filled in	with the result	code from  the
       result message.

       The  server  might supply a matched DN string in	the message indicating
       how much	of a name in a request was recognized. The matcheddnp  parame-
       ter  will  be  filled  in with this string if supplied, else it will be
       NULL. If	a string is returned,  it  should  be  freed  using  ldap_mem-
       free(3).

       The  errmsgp  parameter	will be	filled in with the error message field
       from the	parsed message.	This string should be  freed  using  ldap_mem-
       free(3).

       The  referralsp	parameter will be filled in with an allocated array of
       referral	strings	from the parsed	message. This array  should  be	 freed
       using  ldap_memvfree(3).	 If no referrals were returned,	*referralsp is
       set to NULL.

       The serverctrlsp	parameter will be filled in with an allocated array of
       controls	copied from the	parsed message.	The array should be freed  us-
       ing ldap_controls_free(3).  If no controls were returned, *serverctrlsp
       is set to NULL.

       The  freeit parameter determines	whether	the parsed message is freed or
       not after the extraction. Any non-zero value will make it free the mes-
       sage. The ldap_msgfree(3) routine can also be used to free the  message
       later.

       For SASL	bind results, the servercredp parameter	will be	filled in with
       an  allocated  berval  structure	 containing  the  credentials from the
       server if present. The structure	should be freed	using ber_bvfree(3).

       For extended results and	intermediate responses,	the retoidp  parameter
       will  be	 filled	in with	the dotted-OID text representation of the name
       of the extended operation response. The string should  be  freed	 using
       ldap_memfree(3).	 If no OID was returned, *retoidp is set to NULL.

       For extended results and	intermediate responses,	the retdatap parameter
       will  be	 filled	in with	a pointer to a berval structure	containing the
       data from the extended operation	 response.  The	 structure  should  be
       freed  using ber_bvfree(3).  If no data were returned, *retdatap	is set
       to NULL.

       For all the above result	parameters, NULL values	can be used  in	 calls
       in order	to ignore certain fields.

ERRORS
       Upon  success LDAP_SUCCESS is returned. Otherwise the values of the re-
       sult parameters are undefined.
